Q

Why are TMS peaks easy to detect?

A

TMS has one carbon environment but there are four carbons in the environment so it produces one high-intensity peak, making et easy to detect.

Q

Where does the TMS peak appear in NMR and why?

A

Further to the right because the carbons have more electron density as they are close to a low electronegativity Si
